NOTE 4 - NET INCOME PER SHARE:


The computation of earnings per common and common equivalent share is based upon
the weighted average number of common shares  outstanding during the period plus
(in  periods in which they have a dilutive  effect)  the effect of common  stock
equivalents, comprised solely of stock options. Fully diluted earnings per share
also reflect additional  dilution related to stock options due to the use of the
market  price at the end of the period,  when higher than the average  price for
the period.

ITEM 2.              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

           Revenues for the quarter ended  December 31, 1995 were  $1,727,117 as
compared with revenues of $2,030,319 for the same quarter of the previous fiscal
year,  or a decrease of  approximately  14.9 %. The major portion of the revenue
decrease was attributable to decreased shipments to AT&T of Remote Port Security
Devices   (RPSDs)  for  their  Definity  PBX  customers.   As  a  result  of  an
"overstocked"  position  determined by AT&T in the quarter  ended  September 30,
1995, a reduction in purchase  order  activity  was  effected.  Revenues for the
current  quarter  ended  from AT&T were  approximately  65% lower  than the same
quarter in the previous year.  Exclusive of this  component,  quarterly  revenue
improved slightly  (approximately  1%) from the quarter ended December 31, 1994.
In addition,  AT&T's  purchase  order  activity  resumed in December for regular
monthly  quantities of the RPSDs. Two additional  significant  reductions in the
Company's  revenue stream which occurred in the quarter ended September 30, 1995
experienced  increases in the quarter ended December 31, 1995.  First,  revenues
from the Company's largest customer,  MCI, increased approximately threefold for
the quarter ended December  31,1995 versus the quarter ended September 30, 1995.
Second,  the  Company's  revenues  from  international  customers  increased  by
approximately $300,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 1995 versus the quarter
ended September 30,1995.  During the quarter ended December 31,1995, the Company
received a large purchase order commitment from Concert Management  Services,  a
joint venture  between MCI  Communications  and British  Telecommunications,  on
which initial shipments were made during the quarter.

           The  Company's  cost of goods sold  decreased  from $969,352 from the
quarter ended  December 31, 1994 to $631,049 for the quarter ended  December 31,
1995 as a result  of  decreased  shipment  levels.  However,  cost of goods as a
percentage  of sales  decreased  from 47.7% for the previous  comparable  fiscal
period to 36.5% for this fiscal period, reflecting improved systems,  purchasing
procedures  and more favorable  pricing  negotiated  with vendors.  Research and
development expenses,  net of capitalized software  development,  increased from
$104,209  in the  quarter  ended  December  31,  1994 to $146,032 in the current
fiscal  quarter,  an increase of 40%.  Research  and  development  expenses as a
percentage  of  sales  increased  from  5.1%  to  8.5%,   reflecting   increased
development of a next  generation set of products to be introduced in the fourth
fiscal quarter.  Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased from
$775,081  for the prior  year's  comparable  fiscal  period to $902,149  for the
fiscal  period  ending  December  31,  1995.  This is a result of the  Company's
expansion  of  senior  management  and  its  sales  and  marketing  function  in
anticipation  of future  growth,  which growth did not  materialize in the prior
comparable  fiscal period.  The Company's  selling,  general and  administrative
expenses decreased by approximately 5% from the quarter ended September 30, 1995
as austerity measures were implemented,  including a hiring freeze and temporary
furloughs of approximately 15% of the Company's full-time employees.

           The Company's  operating  profit before  interest and taxes decreased
from $181,677  during the fiscal  quarter ended December 31, 1994 to $45,129 for
the fiscal  quarter  ended  December 31, 1995, as a direct result of the factors
described above.


FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL 1996 VERSUS FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL 1995

           Revenues  for the  nine-month  period  ended  December  31, 1995 were
$4,334,057 as compared with revenues of $5,110,962 for the comparable  period of
the previous fiscal year, a decrease of approximately  15.2 %. The major portion
of the revenue  decrease  was  attributable  to  decreased  shipments to AT&T of
Remote  Port  Security  Devices  (RPSDs) for their  Definity  PBX  customers  as
discussed above, as well as a significant  revenue shortfall  experienced in the
quarter ended September 30, 1995.

           While the Company sells a  substantial  portion of its product to its
top two  customers,  MCI and AT&T,  the  customer  base  exclusive  of these two
customers has increased  substantially,  both in terms of absolute  revenues and
percentage of overall revenues.  Revenues  excluding these top two customers for
the nine months ended  December 31, 1995  increased  by  approximately  $625,000
(33%) over the nine months  ended  December  31,1994,  while the  percentage  of
overall revenue from all other customers increased from approximately 38% in the
nine months  ended  December  31, 1994 to  approximately  58% in the nine months
ended December 31, 1995.

           The Company's cost of goods sold decreased from  $2,290,145  from the
nine months ended December 31, 1994 to $1,796,923 for the quarter ended December
31, 1995 as a result of decreased  shipment  levels.  Despite the lower  volume,
cost of goods as a  percentage  of sales  decreased  from 44.8% for the previous
comparable  fiscal  period to 41.5% for the current  fiscal  period , due to the
favorable factors noted previously.  Research and development  expenses,  net of
capitalized software  development,  increased from $305,411 for the period ended
December 31, 1994 to $440,082 in the current fiscal period,  an increase of 44%.
Research and  development  expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 6.0%
to 10.2%,  reflecting  an  increased  commitment  to the  development  of a next
generation  set  of  products.  Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses
increased  from  $2,023,274  for the prior year's  comparable  fiscal  period to
$2,807,906 for the fiscal period ending  December 31, 1995.  This is a result of
the  Company's  expansion  of senior  management  and its  sales  and  marketing
function in anticipation  of future growth,  which growth did not materialize in
the prior comparable fiscal period.
 
           The Company's  operating  profit before  interest and taxes decreased
from  $491,672  during the nine months  ended  December 31, 1994 to an operating
loss before  interest  and taxes of  $713,992  for the nine month  period  ended
December 31, 1995.  This decrease was due to the Company's slow sales growth and
the increase in operating costs which were in anticipation of more rapid growth.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

           During the third quarter of fiscal year 1996, the Company's financial
condition  remained  steady with the previous  quarter ended September 30, 1995.
After a significant drop in working capital from $2,341,895 at March 31, 1995 to
$1,351,578  at  September  30,  1995,  the  working  capital  remained  level at
$1,357,349  at  December  31,  1995.  A much  tighter  focus on working  capital
management  was  instituted as the Company  stabilized  its financial  condition
after the decline in the quarter ended September 30, 1995.

           The   Company   has  a  credit   agreement   with   CoreStates   Bank
("CoreStates") for a credit line of $1,000,000 to finance future working capital
requirements,  collateralized by accounts receivable,  inventory,  equipment and
all other  assets of the  Company,  as well as a  $200,000  credit  facility  to
finance  purchases of machinery  and  equipment,  convertible  into a three-year
secured  term loan when  utilized.  As of  December  31,  1995,  the Company has
$582,000  outstanding  on its  credit  line and there is a current  term loan of
$120,965 outstanding under the credit facility.

           As a result of its stabilized  working capital  position and its line
of credit with  CoreStates,  the Company  believes that it will have  sufficient
capital to meet its financial requirements for the remainder of the fiscal year.
